Today, lifelong learning is more relevant than ever. It is not only a basic requirement, but also presents a huge opportunity for personal and professional growth with a real impact on modern working life. The Henley Executive MBA (Masters of Business Administration) is a unique master’s degree programme developing at the same time both the individual and the organisation, offering a substantial return on investment (ROI). The Henley Executive MBA is currently the only Executive MBA programme available in Finland offering an internationally-recognised university-level master’s degree.
T
he Henley Executive MBA is designed for experienced and ambitious managers and leaders aiming to achieve the best possible outcomes in business and in life. The programme is structured to allow you to continue working full-time and to study your MBA part-time, connecting your learning to current global and relevant organisational issues. Being aware of your busy schedules and that circumstances in life can change, the Henley Executive MBA offers a great amount of flexibility when it comes to study schedules and locations.
The benefits of this practically oriented programme can be clearly measured, offering a substantial ROI to you personally, and more broadly, to your company. “During the programme, you’ll work on nine different assignments and a final research project. You’ll be able to select for you and your organisation relevant topics and develop those during the assignments and the final research. This way, the programme adds value to you and your company – the ROI can be measured from day one of your studies,” says Annu Matula, Managing Director of Henley Business School in Finland.
When choosing the right EMBA for you, you should first of all consider the quality of the programme and also the respect for the degree on the labour market. Henley is continuously ranked among the world’s top 50 business schools by the Financial Times and The Economist, and the triple-accredited Henley MBA (AMBA, EQUIS and AACSB) is among the most renowned MBAs in the world. While MBAs from Finnish top universities are considered as qualification programmes, the Henley Executive MBA offers a university-level master’s degree recognised on an international scale.
The Henley Executive MBA offers a very powerful and enriching experience that will connect you to global business and a worldwide network. Those who completed the degree have been extremely pleased with the quality of the programme and the flexibility it offers. To quote one of the participants we interviewed, it is a “life-changing experience’’.
“I have substantially developed my intuition for daily decision-making. Working in the management of an international company requires versatile expertise and this is exactly what the Henley Executive MBA has given me, says Pia Aaltonen-Forsell, CFO of Ahlstrom-Munksjö Oyj.”
We spoke with Pia Aaltonen-Forsell, CFO at Ahlström-Munksjö Oyj, about why she chose Henley for her EMBA. “The school’s international recognition, accreditations and ranking success were key selection criteria for me as I work in an international company. And yes, indeed! I have substantially developed my intuition for daily decision-making. Working in the management of an international company requires versatile expertise and this is exactly what the Henley Executive MBA has given me.”“At the kick-off meeting, we were reminded that studying makes people open to other changes, and this has really come true for me. During my studies, I have not only changed companies twice but also changed positions within my current company, I moved to another country due to work and accepted twice a management team position in a publicly listed company.”
Another Henley graduate we talked to is Christoph Raudonat, an experienced management consultant who now works at ICS International. “I had already completed a master’s degree, but I still wanted to update my competences and skills. The objectives of the studies and the school’s values were a good match with my own. In addition, each participant had similar experience of demanding leadership positions in different fields, allowing me to holistically improve my insight. Peer learning and peer support has been a valuable part of the learning experience.”
Christoph considers the Henley Executive MBA as one of the most worthwhile investments in himself. “The standard of teaching is comparable to any of the top universities in the world, but nevertheless Henley offers even more. I paid for the studies myself and find that the investment has been very profitable. Furthermore, I have retained my strong bond with my course mates and the Henley alumni network has even opened doors for my career”, he explains with excitement.
